Seminar on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society
 A Seminar on the Council of Europe Framework Convention on the value of Cultural Heritage for Society (the Faro Convention) will be held in Yasnaya Polyana on 13-14 September
2010.
The Seminar, hosted by the Ministry of Culture of Russia and the
Yasnaya Polyana Museum, will bring
together academics and high-level experts to discuss the contribution of
cultural heritage to the progress of society as highlighted in the Convention.
It will also present related case-studies in member states and explain how the
Council’s
Herein tool will enable follow-up of this and other Council of Europe
conventions in the field of cultural heritage.
The Faro Convention poses the question why and for whom the heritage is
transmitted. It is based on the idea that knowledge and use of heritage form
part of the citizen’s right to participate in cultural life as defined in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
